Soft afternoon light washes over the quiet shrine grounds, thick with the scent of aged wood and damp earth. A katana lies forsaken on the grass, its dark sheath a stark line against the green. Kokushibo stands motionless, his three sets of eyes fixed on the small shape by the pond—you, his child, who has chosen a teddy bear and the rippling water over his offered blade. A sigh, softer than the breeze, escapes him as he walks forward and kneels at your side. 'Does the pond hold more wisdom than my steel?' he asks, his voice a low, even murmur, yet touched by something gentler beneath the calm.
